I pointed those out to the installer, he agrees they look off. (well he specifically mentioned the three most egregious) I told him I wasn't basing anything on a 15 minute test (or two) but wanted to be clear I'd be paying close attention once the system goes live. He said they would keep an...

That's based on the inverter swap between the 1500s and 350s, yes? That's fine by me just to avoid future hassles having a configuration that doesn't match the permit/POCO approval, etc. And that is DC not AC - based on my admittedly rudimentary understanding of the difference that would only...

The closest trees on the front/south side of the are across the street .. I've never noticed any shading beyond perhaps the first 5 or 6 feet of my driveway. (note the highlighted tree looking thing at the front/right corner of the house is just a flowerbed - well, weed bed lol) so it produces...

Let me pick your brains about one more thing before I get back with the installer letting them know everything now reports online. (they told me to flip on the AC disco for 1-15 minutes, took a while but they all eventually did, then turned it back off) This is the map of energy produced, as...

With the exception of a basic understanding of risk dealing with a Chinese company going forward most of the rest of that is Greek to me. :) 4:1 may have been just as good/better in some respects - had they quoted them and the permit/POCO approvaI been based on them I wouldn't have known any...

Is 4:1 a "proper" Hoymiles design? I mean I can live with it I'm just very concerned about future headaches with warranty/insurance/POCO and aggravated that they willy nilly changed things up without saying "boo" about it and then just make up excuses (maybe they are legit, aside from the...

No, it just says WITH MY CONSENT they can change the "modules" (which is very well defined elsewhere as the panels themselves) if there are supply issues and they will still provide the contracted wattage. Says nothing whatever about the microinverters. And yes I'd need at least that...

Thanks! Ok, I guess the installer just read it off the permit. (too bad he didn't actually pay attention to the fact the installation he did bore no resemblance to the permit lol) But that is one bonus for the way they did it. BUT will require all new permits/POCO submissions. They are...

That's hard to answer at this point. Had they once mentioned it I would have had a chance to do some research and balance the potential loss of 4 panels on failure vs. asking for a lower price. With no price difference absolutely not. Yes, this has me freaked out. Can you even get a...

Let me ask this.. as they are saying oh this is actually better because the 1500s have a max 375w per panel whereas the 350 is, well, max 350 why does Hoymile state the exact same 5.93 kW AC as the pernit plans stated with entirely different equipment? Is the entire system limited by the lowest...

No, haven't paid (beyond the 10% deposit) Here is their nonsensical response: "Hoymiles builds their micro-inverter system around 3 units that are used interchangeably based on the layout of the panels. Whether it is a 1-1, 2-1, or a 4-1 unit each panel has it's own inverter inside the casing...

Ok, got a new system installed yesterday. Per contract and all engineering/county permit paperwork was to have received 17 Hoymiles HM-350NT microinverters. (One per VSUN410-132BMH panel.) Once they had finished and left I got my credentials from them for the Hoymiles app. I looked at the...
